CHRIS McCausland was the first celebrity to be saved from elimination in tonight's Strictly Come Dancing results show (October 20).

This means he will be making it through to next week's Halloween-themed night.

The comedian, who previously studied at Hereford's Royal National College for the Blind, told host Claudia Winkleman: "Ballroom feels like dancing. It feels like how people used to dance. Latin is nonsense."

It was shortly after revealed that he will be performing a Samba next week to Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees.

McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell wowed fans with his performance last night (October 19). He performed a waltz to You'll Never Walk Alone.

They received an incredible score of 35 out of 40, with McCausland saying the chosen song meant a lot to him. 

You'll Never Walk Alone is the anthem of Liverpool FC, with the track being picked because of McCausland's Liverpool background.

McCausland said that as a die-hard Liverpool fan, he hoped he did the song justice, and added that if the duo did something that Manchester United fans would like, then they've "worked a miracle".

The 47-year-old comedian, lost his eyesight in his early 20s as a result of retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary condition. This diagnosis prompted a career change from his previous job in web development to becoming a comedian. He was a student at Hereford's RNC in the mid 1990s.

He is known to television audiences for his role as Rudi in the CBeebies show Me Too, and regularly appears at comedy venues around the UK, including the Comedy Store.
